Clean Tax Cuts

CleanTaxCuts.org, a project of the Grace Richardson Fund, serves as an online clearinghouse for materials related to the study of Clean Tax Cuts, a new class of free market policy tools. Our ongoing mission is to develop policies that remove all barriers to capital and participation in clean solutions, to accelerate the transition to a cleaner economy. We hope to find new free-market solutions that will reduce waste and negative externalities from modern industrial economies, and in so doing increase prosperity.

We invite you to join us as we turn capitalism into clean capitalism.

Concepts and proposals presented here have emerged from various collaborative working groups. Materials may have been authored by many different individuals and institutes. Inclusion of these materials and proposals does not imply endorsement by those collaborators or the Grace Richardson Fund, unless stated explicitly. Materials are gathered here for educational and scholarly purposes, especially for purposes of policy innovation and exploration of new solutions.
Consolidated reports and summaries are posted in the Media section as they are written. We invite your comments and ongoing participation. Please contact us.

Welcome!

Clean Tax Cuts

Clean Tax Cuts is the current project focus of the Grace Richardson Fund. The Clean Tax Cuts Working Group researches the potential of new free market policy solutions for critical issues stuck in partisan gridlock. One such new idea, Clean Tax Cuts (CTC), applies Ronald Reagan’s supply-side tax cuts to the problems of pollution and climate risk.

A conservative solution with transpartisan appeal, CTC offers something of highest core value for left and right: an ever-cleaner planet and tax cuts; cheaper clean energy and less government, an affordable answer to climate risk, and sustainable growth and prosperity.

To encourage others to get involved in the development of this idea, Rod Richardson has presented preliminary findings of this ongoing research process at Earth Day Texas in Dallas on April 22, 2017, and in many other cities and venues since 2016.

Rod & Prof. David Wilson, MIT, father of the carbon tax, who agrees that some modification to his original plan may be necessary to address environmental issues.

Next Steps…

To all scholars, think tanks, policymakers and philanthropists: we invite you to join us in a unique open-source, charrette-driven policy innovation process, as we shape new free-market policy solutions to critical issues stuck in gridlock. We welcome your thoughts, comments and engagement!
